N1 - Funding Information:
This research is based upon work supported under the Solar Energy Research Institute for India and the U.S. (SERIIUS) funded jointly by the U.S. Department of Energy subcontract DE AC36-08G028308 (Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, and Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Solar Energy Technology Program, with support from International Affairs) and the Government of
Funding Information:
The Solar Energy Research Institute for India and the US (SERIIUS) was jointly funded under the Joint Clean Energy R&D Center (JCERDC) through the Government of India’s Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) over a 5-year period starting October 1, 2012—with funding of $25 million for the 5 years in a 50%/50% split between the two countries. The overall objective is to create high-impact fundamental and applied R&D to create disruptive PV and CSP technologies for the US and India while creating a new workforce for both countries. The Consortium is also supported by cost share from its members—40 partners from India and the U.S.—with at least the required $25 million in matching funds. We will discuss in detail the objectives of SERIIUS and how a management structure was created to facilitate a truly bi-national research effort, and how this has resulted in significant new research benefitting both countries. Specific examples of joint activities in photovoltaics (PV) will be given.

N2 - The Solar Energy Research Institute for India and the United States (SERIIUS - http://www.seriius.org) is dedicated to creating a bi-national network of its 40 partners with members from academia, national laboratories, non-profit organizations, and industry to foster new ideas and collaborations to expedite a sustainable solar industry in the US and in India. SERIIUS is developing disruptive technologies through foundational research in sustainable photovoltaics (PV), multi-scale concentrating solar power (CSP) and coupled to an analysis activity to address the critical barriers for solar energy development in India that intersect the grand challenges for solar energy in the U.S. The consortium has published over 330 papers and conference proceedings of which 45 are joint between India and the US. SERIIUS has engaged overs 200 graduate students and had 30 binational intern exchanges.
